The use of vaccines and immunotherapies in medicine dates back to the end of the 18th century and the work of Edward Jenner, the father of immunology. Jenner, building on the observations of John Fewster in 1768, showed that inoculation with the cowpox virus prevented smallpox. Thus the first vaccine, the name derived from the Latin for cow, “vacca”, was developed.
